What is a monkeybox?

When I was a little girl, we had a pet monkey named Amanda. My Dad worked in the produce business, so each night he brought home that days culls in a big box - spotty cucumbers, pithy apples, limp celery, moldy oranges and the like. We called it a monkeybox. It was really just trash, but my Mom would take each piece of fruit and trim it, pare it and cut it up to make a beautiful fruit platter for Amanda. Even though it was deemed trash by one, it still had life left in it and was good for the purpose we needed it. That's how I live my life - thrifting, yard saling, looking for another's trash to be my treasure.

It's coming....I promise!

I'm working on a Junk Ranch post - but it's a looong one! Should be up tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for all the emails, texts and well wishes!

While I was gone all weekend, a clean up crew came to clean up the house next door that was recently foreclosed. In their zealous and rush, they crossed the property line and took a bunch of my things TO THE DUMP. I am in the process of filing a police report. What a mess. :(

Did they actually cross a fence to get into your yard? I'm not sure if your yard is physically fenced or not. Either way, they should have been able to figure out property lines. I hope you are able to get your stuff back, but that might not be possible I'm sure you know. If not, they should be financially responsible for the losses you suffered due to their incompetence.

So sorry they took some of your stuff! I had an old chair with a plant sitting on it about 20 feet from the end of our driveway where the garbage was and they took it one day - left the plant. WTH! I can commiserate with you.

I love my comments. I'd love to respond to everyone, but if you don't have an email address tied to your ID, please sign your name so I will know who you are! It makes it nice to know who is saying what. Now, leave a comment! Please? ;o)

I Can See You!

Look at my Visitors!

About Me

I am the curator or a small house crammed to the rafters with vintage goodness. I love finding old stuff, making it new again and reselling it in my flea market booth. Mostly, I like to keep it! :) BUT! More than all that - I love where I live in NW Arkansas. Beautiful country with lots of great things to see and do. Sometime it's about the junk. Sometimes it's about the journey.

Hazel

Hazel is a 1950''s Buster Brown Mannequin. I purchased her at the Estate of a dear lady I knew. She worked at Woolsworth for many years and rescued the mannequin from the store when she was about to be thrown out. Hazel has become a member of our family! (I never had a girl, you know!)
